I am at Sun Valley, Idaho. The Paragliding US Nationals starts
here next Saturday. The Last few days have been exceptional flying.
Yesterday (Sunday, Nate Scales launched on his Omega 6. After a turbulent climb
out he cleared the launch then flew to a new State record of 125 miles
(approximately, distance to be confirmed), landing in the flatlands slightly
east of Dubois. Base was 20,000ft, wind 7-10 mph out of the WNW, climbs were
sweet. Fingers crossed for good weather for competition.
As I'm the meet director for the 2006 US National Paragliding
Championships, I'll be reporting on this meet starting this coming weekend.
